The Division of Gynecology is responsible for the organization of the Department Journal Club meetings. The Journal Club meets monthly at the home of a faculty member for an informal discussion of current articles in the literature. This conference is attended by faculty members and residents, as well as medical students considering a career in Obstetrics and Gynecology, and local obstetrician-gynecologists in private practice in the Gainesville area.
The Division is also responsible for publication of the OB/GYN Newsletter. Dr. McLean serves as the editor for this ongoing publication. He began the newsletter in 1989 as a means of establishing communication with former faculty, residents, and alumni of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The newsletter format has been updated recently and can now be found as part of the OB-GYN website.
